I watched the world burn,your memory dancing in the flame,
listening to the echoes of my silence sigh your name,
I bow my head In musing with a mask to hide the pain,
I can’t even cry no more so I envy every drop of rain,
Because that empty hollow feeling that your leaving left behind,
has got me playing movies that I recorded in my mind,
emotionless I watch them even some I might rewind,
sometimes it’s hard to sleep because I’m haunted by your eyes,
I am not the same no more and inside I’m marked with scars,
bitter regrets I cannot change what plagued what once was ours,
I used to hold the heavens now its dark without the stars,
I try to hold your image but you always leave my arms….

I have seen the bottom and I’ve rested at the top. I’ve endured a lot of hardship and I’ve encompassed a lot of light. I’m trying to go to school to be a therapist so I can help people. I have 6 children and I’m trying to leave behind a legacy that will endure the tests of time. I want to be able to inspire hope in a world devoid of it. My name is Matthew and I would like to share my stories.
